To the moon, Timmy! To the moon!

For a bunch of overgrown monkeys, we've come a long way. On this day in 1959, the Soviet Union smacked the side of the moon with the Luna 2 probe, the first man-made object to touch the moon's surface. 52 years later, we have the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (or GRAIL) heading up to study its interior and gravitational field.

So what's next? Don't know about you, but we're prepping our spacesuits for a Moon Cruise.

It's been nearly 16 years since the movie Hackers was released. That makes some of us feel pretty old.

The Corellian Engineering Corporation's stock light freighter YT-1300 isn't the most beautiful starship in the outer rim, but her modularity makes it the ship of choice amongst the smugglers and scoundrels of the galaxy. Pushed to her limits, she can even make .5 past light speed. She has her own beauty and is a work of art in her own right. While you're not likely to have one in your living room, you can hang one on your wall. This vinyl cling goes up easy, repositions effortlessly, and looks gorgeous as she flies into her next adventure.Millennium Falcon Wall Cling - She's got it where it counts, kid.

This clock is a horrible gift for anyone in your life who is dating a werewolf. The last thing they need is a constant reminder of the very thing that turns their sweetie into a bloodthirsty animal. But if you're not a lycanthrophile, you may like having a beautiful light-up moon clock on your wall. The face is a composite of 65 actual photographs of the moon. Unlike the real moon, which does not give off its own light, the clock face will glow for two hours after the lights are off, making it the perfect night light for your geekling's room--unless of course, the monsters they fear are werewolves.Light Up Moon Clock - There's always time for lycanthropy

Write down all your important spells, dates, or homework with this magical pen, sculpted to look like Harry Potter's wand. We can guarantee it'll work just like a pen, writing things down on paper or other paper-like surfaces. We cannot, however, guarantee that it will work like a magic wand. It might, though, so give it a shot and let us know how that goes.Harry Potter Illuminated Wand Pen - Write down those spells

Pivot Power made us squeal with nerdly glee. With 6 adjustable outlets, we can pivot this surge protector in such a way that we can actually use all six outlets. Every plug--no matter how big--fits into every outlet. And if that wasn't cool enough, you can also use Pivot Power's... um, powers to wrap around furniture or squeeze a surge protector into hard to reach places. (The 6-foot long cord helps with that too!) Pivot Power is poised to be our new favorite surge protector. Why not give it a shot and see if you agree?Pivot Power - A creative outlet

Based on the 1950s Ericofon, you may recognize this phone for the parts it has played in The Twilight Zone or Farscape.

Espresso is considered to be the ultimate expression of the coffee bean. Rich and dark, balanced sweet and bitter, with a generous jolt of caffeine. However, it's a finicky brew requiring high pressure derived from steam or pumps--until now. Presso uses a unique one-way valve and steel levers that would make Archimedes proud. Our in-house coffee nerds have given it a brown-stained and jittery thumbs up for excellent balance and a thick crema with very little effort. It's truly the easiest way to make a perfect pull of java juice!Presso Espresso Machine - Brute force caffeine injection
